There are three mothers on our menu. 🍲

Mama Petra's Hungarian Goulash is my mother's recipe. Batata nu Shaak is Mama Deven's. And the Ossobucco belongs to an Italian friend's mother, who would probably have something to say about how we serve it.

That's roughly how this menu grew. Somebody's home recipe, then another, and we never stopped. Thai green curry, Indian koroga, Indonesian satay, Ugandan katogo, a Dutch pancake, and yes, fish and chips — served on a plate, not a newspaper.

There's a monthly specials list too, so it keeps moving. Almost everything has a vegetarian or vegan version.

Our guests say it better:

🍽️ "Maria will spoil you with her exquisite food" — Aquila T
💚 "The meals are served with a homely feel and all are freshly made" — Waliubal
⭐ "Home cooked meals delicious" — Patrick, who put us in the top three of a ten-week trip across Africa
🍛 "Don't forget to try Mama Petra's Goulash" — Saudah

All of it looking at the Nile. 🌊

(Next in the series: the birds. There are 120 species in this garden and you don't have to go anywhere.)

Some guests tube the Nile before breakfast. 🛟

Others get into a hammock on Friday afternoon and are still there on Sunday. 😄

Both are correct.

On the water: tubing and kayaking straight from our own beach, and rafting arranged from here.

On land: guided cycle rides through the villages and banana shambas, and a massage on the terrace with the river below you.

In the garden: table tennis, badminton, kubb, petanque — and a splash pool for the children.

And when it rains, or after dark: board games, cards, a sjoelbak, a library, and a fire once it's cool enough. 🔥

But nobody will chase you to join in. That's rather the point.

🛟 "Supremely helpful in arranging activities, like professional tubing the Nile" — Melani, South Africa
🔥 "Massage, outdoor games and bonfire" — Google review
🌿 "You're left to create your own experience" — Abe
✅ "Everything just works" — Olupot

Two hours from Kampala. Do everything, or do nothing at all. 😊

People arrive and go quiet for a minute. 😊

It happens nearly every time. Bags down, walk to the edge of the lawn, and just stand there listening.

Rapids, first of all — constant, right below the garden. Frogs after dark. Crickets. And from about half five in the morning, birds. Lots of birds. That's the whole soundtrack.

It's the one thing we can't put in a photo. So here's what our guests say instead:

🎵 "The soothing sound of the flowing river and the bird sounds are very relaxing" — Kenneth, Uganda
🌿 "A quiet slice of paradise" — Waliuba L
🎶 "The Nile-River singing for you a non-stop melody" — Aquila T
💚 "I go home recharged every time" — Lara B

Two hours from Kampala. Come and stand at the edge of the lawn. 🌊

(Next post: what our guests get up to all day. Sometimes the answer is nothing at all.)

Hello from the banks of the Nile! 👋

We're two hours from Kampala, and the loudest thing here is the rapids. (Well — that and the birds. And occasionally a very enthusiastic game of sjoelen.) 😄

We love this place, but we're hardly objective about it. Our guests are. So for the next few weeks we're handing the page over to them.

Seven posts, all in our guests' own words: the river, the food, the birds, the fun, camping (even if you've never done it), and our wonderful team.

Next one: the river. 🌊

See you soon? 😊
